Technical Abstract

A system is provided for object localization in image data. The system includes an object localization framework comprising a plurality of object localization processes. The system is configured to receive an image comprising unannotated image data having at least one object in the image, access a first object localization process of the plurality of object localization processes, determine first bounding box information for the image using the first object localization process, wherein the first bounding box information comprises at least one first bounding box annotating at least a first portion of the at least one object in the image, and receive first feedback regarding the first bounding box information determined by the first object localization process. The system is further configured to persist the image with the first bounding box information or access a second object localization process based on the first feedback.
